Carolina was born in the heart of Rio de Janeiro to a capoeira instructor and a university professor. When she was two years old, her beast gene activated after being bitten by a spider. She became double-jointed, reclusive and developed a craving for flying insects. When she was in kindergarten, her father had to take her to the doctor after her teacher complained that she could never stay still and chased flies around the classroom. The doctors misdiagnosed her as having ADHD and had her take Ritalin. When the medication didn't help, her father enrolled her in his capoeira classes to keep her out of trouble and give her an outlet for her energetic behavior. This also didn't help as the Ritalin dosages were making her too hyperactive. When a Jiu Jitsu class opened in the gym next to his, he signed her up for those classes as well. He also had her take hip hop dance classes on the weekends. When she was in high school, she was competing in capoeira, MMA tournaments and hip hop dance contests. By the time she was sixteen, she already had 11 wins, 0 losses in her MMA record. She also had won multiple awards for capoeira. The summer after she graduated from high school, her and her dance crew traveled to NYC for the summer to audition to compete on a talent show. However on the day of the audition, as a side-effect of the Ritalin, Carolina developed a case of nausea and vomited on stage during the performance. Not only did their group not make it through the audition but her group decided to ban her from the group. While waiting for her father to come pick her up at the hostel that her and her group were staying at, she saw a commercial on TV for the Monster Fist championship. When she returned to Rio, she convinced her MMA gym to sponsor her and against her father's wishes, flew back to NYC to become a Monster Fist competitor.

Facts:

Carolina has developed an addiction to her Ritalin and though doping is illegal in Monster Fist, she has received a pass for her ADHD diagnosis.

Because of her Ritalin, Carolina could maintain an A average all though out school and keep up with capoeira, MMA and hip hop dancing.

Haven't been able to make it down to the protests because of work but I definitely plan on making it to the Million March NYC. In the meantime, as an artist who believes in social justice, I think it's important to at least make an art piece where my characters are protesting.

So, I finally found a job (or 2). I am working on Saturdays as a TA for the arts organization I worked at over the summer and I am also working as a TA at a new organization that just recently hired me. That job is Mon-Friday, 3 hours a day. They also have me doing office work here and there so I am basically doing similar work to my work-study job during school. Also, I started talking to this girl and I really like her so far and we are now casually dating. Nothing serious yet but we've been talking and hanging out and getting to know each other. I guess we'll see where this goes. I am still pretty broke despite having a job. I still have to pay off my credit card bill, I have to give my mom money for bills, build up my savings and now that I have a learner's permit, I need to pay for driver's ed classes once I have the money. Also, I have student loans to start paying off in January. So not looking forward to that...I am also freelancing so I haven't had much time to work on my own art so that sucks but I have at least been making money from that while I was unemployed. I really hope that things keep getting better, though I am always prepared for things to go wrong or not how I planned.

I'm an illustrator, digital painter, animator and writer. I love story telling and writing about characters that I feel don't get enough representation in all forms of entertainment media. Being an African American lesbian atheist, I never see any characters on TV or in comics or movies that are anything like me.

*****I am up for commissions*****Digital or traditional and I am starting a new system where I will order clients a digital print of the work. I will also ship traditional work to your address. I use paypal to receive payments.

I do NOT do free requests. Unless you want to do an art trade, there are no exceptions to that.
